20,000 Days on Earth

The first time I saw Susie was at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London

and when she came walking in,

all the things I had obsessed over for all
the years - pictures of movie stars,

Jenny Agutter in the billabong,
Anita Ekberg in the fountain ,
Ali MacGraw in her black tights,

images from the TV when I was a kid,

Barbara Eden
and Elizabeth Montgomery and Abigail,

Miss World competitions, Marilyn Monroe
and Jennifer Jones and Bo Derek

and Angie Dickinson as Police Woman,

Maria Falconetti and Suzi Quatro ,
Bolshoi ballerinas and Russian gymnasts,

Wonder Woman and Barbarella
and supermodels and Page 3 girls,

all the endless, impossible fantasies,

the young girls at the Wangaratta pool
lying on the hot concrete,

Courbet's Origin Of The World,

Bataille's bowl of milk,
Jean Simmons' nose ring,

all the stuff I had heard
and seen and read.

Advertising and TV commercials,

billboards and fashion spreads
and Playmate of the Month,

Caroline Jones dying in Elvis's arms,

Jackie O in mourning,
Tinker Bell trapped in the drawer,

all the continuing, never-ending
drip-feed of erotic data

came together at that moment
in one great big crash-bang

and I was lost to her

and that was that.

20,000 Days on Earth quotes

  • Nick Cave: All of our days are numbered. We can not afford to be idle. To act on a bad idea is better than to not act at all because the worth of the idea never becomes apparent until you do it. Sometimes this idea can be the smallest thing in the world; a little flame that you hunch over and cup with your hand and pray will not be extinguished by all the storm that howls about it. If you can hold on to that flame, great things can be constructed around it; things that are massive and powerful and world changing. All held up by the tiniest of ideas.
